Could you build this?
No This is a native recompilation of Mario Kart Wii for PC, which requires reverse engineering a PowerPC console binary and emulating the Wii's hardware. Vibe coding cannot substitute for that low-level systems expertise.
What it would actually take: The build requires static and dynamic analysis of the Wii executable, lifting PowerPC code to C or C++, and reimplementing Wii OS and GPU (Flipper/Hollywood) behavior. This takes a team with deep reverse-engineering, compiler, and graphics API skills, plus extensive testing against original hardware.
